Pro bio s & -NP pro

mymarinedream · Jun 12, 2020

Ive been adding Pro bio s and Np pro for months now and my nutrients are:-
Nitrates 5/10ppm and phosphates 0.03-0.05 which I believe are fine.
Can I stop using these now. Or do I dose daily forever?

Hello,
-NP Pro and Pro Bio S are designed to daily dosing.
If aquarium is running - nutrients are "producing" daily from fish, feeding fish and corals and their organic waste.

@Aquaforest - Can you dilute the -NP Pro concentrate to use in a doser? I believe you can mix 50 mL of the -NP Pro concentrate into 2 liters of RODI water to make an equivalent dosing concentration to the 2 L version you sell. Is this correct?

Yes you can.

Is it the same concentration? It seems there are more doses on the concentrated vial than the diluted dosing jug (assuming about 20 drops per mL).

Dosage:
10 and 50ml bottles: 1 drop per 100 liters (27 US gal) everyday.
For dosing pumps (container 2000ml) : 5ml/100l ( US: 1 tsp/27 US gal. of water.) daily.
We recommend using in equal doses with Pro Bio S.

I meant when you mix the 50 ml of the concentrate with 2 L of RODI water. Does that make the same concentration as the dosing version sold?

If I use 0.05 mL per drop the concentrate can treat 27,000 gal and the dosing can treat 10,800 gal. If I mix 50 mL of concentrate that seems to be double the normal dosing formula concentration.
